Urban bridleway
This public bridleway runs parallel to Glendower Avenue between the corner of Guphill Avenue and Allesley Old Road. It is shown on the 1889 OS map as Guphill Lane and ran from Whoberley Lane (now Guphill Avenue) to join what was then called the Old Allesley Road at Guphill Ford Bridge. It was on the western boundary of the city between the boundary changes of 1842 and 1928.
